273.55 kms. More later!

We've been doing an equipment refresh. All our old electronic toys were at least 12 years old. So we've had new GPSs (Montana 700s), new intercoms and new cameras. These should see us through to the end of our riding days.

No idea. I'm finding the shutter button very difficult to use with my winter gloves on. And the position of the camera is an issue. I've got a chin mount, a handlebar mount and a chest harness. With the chest harness I can use voice control when stopped . However, on the chin I can't use...

Yesterday we rode out to Tamworth, a nice little village on the edge of one of the most beautiful areas in Eastern Ontario. This ride takes us down many roads that we don't often ride these days. Unfortunately Tamworth seems to be struggling and two of the restaurants have closed. We tried...

Yesterday we went up to Barry's Bay again. The roads are unbelievable up that way, so many fantastic winding hilly roads. This is the only decent photo I took, on the virb. We've been in the throes of figuring out our new GoPro12s and finding them a challenge. 440 kms.

My '08 F65GS on 2012-08-20, heading out on the trip that ended later that day when Mike's alternator burnt itself to a crisp. Sorry I'm a day late with this, I meant to post it yesterday but we went for a very long ride and all we did when we got back was chill out in the screened porch....

Just in case anyone is thinking of buying an ST2 system for their bike - DON'T. They don't work. When you try to return it they refuse the parcel and don't respond to any emails. Total rip-off. (ST2 is supposed to turn on the brake light as you slow down. It flashes on and off regardless...

And more More than 115 people who viewed the solar eclipse in Ontario earlier this month experienced eye damage after the event, according to eye doctors in the province. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/more-than-115-cases-of-eye-damage-reported-in-ontario-after-solar-eclipse-1.6863590

No bathroom? We had a shower and loo on our trip from Argentina after the Soirée 2010.

Does that include a cabin?

This one? Corner of Vistula Rd and Old Barry’s Bay Rd.

Having lunch in Wilno.

So they got very quiet and now the light is back they’ve started up again.

We should get 96% totality here. It’s getting darker and the clouds have moved in just in time. One of the cows that lives behind us has been mooing loudly for 45 minutes. Hmmm. Eta: now it’s a chorus of three cows.

I was thinking about armour and I remember that the Belstaff two piece leather suit I bought in about 2004 had great armour, the elbow armour went down to my wrist. I'm wondering if it's possible to get an armour jacket thing to wear under gear. Like they have for motocross. Heading to the...

OT: There are some fabulous places near the harbours in the southern end of NS.

We got about 8 inches of heavy wet snow. And a LOT of wind. It's much calmer out there today.

I'm a big fan of pan fried cod myself. You can usually get that. I don't get it if it's battered.

Very interesting videos. I checked my Dainese jacket and it's got the type A armour which is probably fine for me. We're going to have to look into this aspect when we buy a new jacket for Mike. Thanks for posting this!
